Poor indoor air quality can lead to Sick Building Syndrome, a chronic condition with symptoms ranging from headaches, eye, nose, and throat irritation, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea.
Home Owners Frustrated With Indoor Air Quality, Breathing Problems, Mold, Pollen, Allergens, And A General Lack Of Peace-Of-Mind About Unwanted Pests Have Turned To This New Technology.
Any holes in your envelope will cause HVAC systems to work harder to maintain temperatures, which makes the entire home less efficient and more expensive.
AND, if there's a hole, air infiltration from the outside occurs bringing in dust, allergens, and other airborne pollutants.
Plus, air currents account for 98% of all water vapor movement in a building. Controlling the air means preventing unwanted moisture coming in from the outside.
How much moisture, for example, is transferred through a 1-inch hole exactly? 30 FULL QUARTS over a month.
And too many holes means you won't pass your door blower test. That's why you need an "air shield", or an Aeroseal.
